I had the book for quite a while before they made the movie. I started it, but could never get past a quarter way thru the book. When I heard that the movie was being made, I figured I might as well read it, knowing full well it would be a while till I saw it. I enjoyed the book once past that part that kept nailing me, and really loved it. The movie came and went in the theaters, without me having seen it. When it hit video, I bought it first. It had been a while since reading the book, so it was pretty new to me, but as the movie got going, I kept snapping my fingers and going "Ohhhh yeah! I remember that!" I liked it alot. Alot of his (King\'s) movies stink compared to his books, but this one did the book justice, I think.
